Word order in questions.

Introduction

Questions, also called interrogative sentences, allow us to get information. They

generally follow the pattern: wh +auxiliary verb + subject + main verb. There are
a few different types of questions in English grammar. Closed or yes/no
questions don’t use a question word (i.e. what) and can only be answered
with yes or no. Open questions, or wh questions, use a question word and can
be answered freely. We use indirect questions in reported speech or to be
polite.

Learn about question formation and word order in English Questions with
Lingolia’s grammar lesson. In the interactive exercises, you can practise what
you have learnt.
For example

Do you like ice-cream?

How often do you eat ice-cream?

Have you had an ice-cream today?

What is your favourite kind of ice-cream?

Types of Questions

Yes/No Questions

Yes/no questions are questions without a question word: we can only answer them
with yes or no. For questions of this sort, the auxiliary verb comes at the beginning of
the sentence. If the question’s main verb is be, then be comes at the beginning of the
sentence.

Example:

Do you like ice-cream?

Have you had an ice-cream today?

Is this your ice-cream?

Wh Questions

We construct wh questions exactly like yes/no questions, except we add the question word to
the beginning of the sentence, before the auxiliary verb.

Example:

How often do you eat ice-cream?

What is your favourite kind of ice-cream?

In questions with a preposition, the preposition usually comes at the end of the sentence.

Example:

Who is the ice-cream for?

THE "SIMPLE PRESENT" IS USED:

To express habits and routines, general facts, repeated actions or situations, emotions and
permanent desires:

I smoke (habit); I work in London (permanence); London is a large city (general fact)

To give instructions or indications:

You walk for two hundred meters, then you turn left.

To talk about scheduled, present or future events:

Your exam starts at 09.00.

To refer to the future, behind some conjunctions: after, when, before, as soon as, until:

He'll give it to you when you come next Saturday.

Watch out! The "simple present" is not used to talk about what is happening at this moment.

EXAMPLES

Events and repeated actions

OTES ON THE THIRD PERSON OF THE SINGULAR OF THE "SIMPLE PRESENT"

In the third person singular, the verb always ends in -s:

He wants, she needs, he gives, she thinks.

For the negative and interrogative forms, DOES (= third person of the auxiliary 'DO') + the
infinitive of the verb is used.

He wants ice cream. Does he want strawberry? He does not want vanilla.

Verbs that end in -y: in the third person of the singular, the -y is changed by -ies:

fly -> flies, cry -> cries

Exception: when a vowel precedes the -y:

play -> plays, pray -> prays

We add -es to the verbs that end in: -ss, -x, -sh, -ch:

He passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes

EXAMPLES

I go to school every morning.

She understands English.

It mixes the sand and the water.

I have tried very hard.

She enjoys playing the piano.

FORMATION OF THE "PRESENT CONTINUOUS"

The "present continuous" of any verb is composed of two parts: the present tense of the verb
to be + the "present participle" of the main verb.

(To form the "present participle": root + ing, e.g. talking, playing, moving, smiling)
 TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE IN
ENGLISH
Many students use only will or going to in order to talk about the future.
However, it’s very common to use the present continuous to talk about the
future, in the case of arrangements that are planned:
+ I’m having dinner with friends tonight.
+ She’s meeting David at the train station tomorrow.
– He isn’t coming to the party.
– We aren’t seeing our family this weekend.
? What are you doing on Saturday?
? Is Mary arriving at 7:00 or 8:00 tomorrow morning?
You can use the present continuous for future plans with these words:
 tonight, tomorrow, this weekend
 next week/month/year
 this summer/fall/winter/spring
 on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/etc.
 next Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/etc.
